2.3 Safety Precautions
W A R N I N G
HIGH VOLTAGE
AC drives contain high voltage when connected to AC mains input, DC supply, or load sharing. Failure to perform installation,
start-up, and maintenance by qualified personnel can result in death or serious injury.
Only qualified personnel must perform installation, start-up, and maintenance.
-
W A R N I N G
UNINTENDED START
When the drive is connected to the AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at any time, causing risk of death,
serious injury, and equipment or property damage. The motor may start by activation of an external switch, a fieldbus command,
an input reference signal from the LCP or LOP, via remote operation using MCT 10 Set-up software, or after a cleared fault condi-
tion.
Press [Off] on the LCP before programming parameters.
-
Disconnect the drive from the mains whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended motor
-
start.
Check that the drive, motor, and any driven equipment are in operational readiness.
The [Off/Reset] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the drive from mains.
W A R N I N G
DISCHARGE TIME
The drive contains DC-link capacitors, which can remain charged even when the drive is not powered. High voltage can be
present even when the warning indicator lights are off.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been removed before performing service or repair work could result in death or
serious injury.
Stop the motor.
-
Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type motors, and remote DC-link supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
-
DC-link connections to other drives.
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully. The minimum waiting time is specified in the table Discharge time and is also visible
-
on the nameplate on top of the drive.
Before performing any service or repair work, use an appropriate voltage measuring device to make sure that the capacitors
-
are fully discharged.
Table 1: Discharge Time
Leakage current (>3.5 mA)
Follow national and local codes regarding protective earthing of equipment with a leakage current >3.5 mA. AC drive technology
implies high frequency switching at high power. This generates a leakage current in the ground connection. A fault current in the
drive at the output power terminals might contain a DC component, which can charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient
ground current. The ground leakage current depends on various system configurations including RFI filtering, shielded motor cables, and drive power.
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard) requires special care if the leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA. Reinforce
Grounding in 1 of the following ways:
•
Grounding wire of at least 10 mm2 (8 AWG).
•
2 separate ground wires both complying with the dimensioning rules.
See EN 60364-5-54 § 543.7 for further information.
Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the following:
•
Use RCDs of type B that can detect AC and DC currents.
•
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults due to transient ground currents.
•
Dimension RCDs according to the system configuration and environmental considerations.
Motor thermal protection
Motor overload protection is possible by setting parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to [4] ETR trip. For the North American
market: Implemented ETR function provides class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance with NEC.
Installation at high altitudes
For altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft), contact Danfoss regarding PELV.
Disconnect the drive from mains (and external DC supply, if present).
2.
Wait for 4 minutes (M1, M2, and M3) and 15 minutes (M4 and M5) for discharge of the DC-link.
3.
Disconnect the DC bus terminals and the brake terminals (if present).
4.
Remove the motor cable.
3.2 Side-by-side Installation
The drive can be mounted side by side for IP20 rating units and requires 100 mm (3.9 in) clearance above and below for cooling.
Refer to chapter Specifications for details on environmental ratings of the drive.
3.3 Mechanical Dimensions
A template for drilling is found on the flap of the packaging.
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature. Copper conduc-
tors required, 60–75 °C (140–167 °F) recommended.

Spade connectors (6.3 mm (0.25 in) Faston plugs).
3.5 Fuses
3.5.1 Branch Circuit Protection
To prevent fire hazards, protect the branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines, and so on, against short circuits and
overcurrent. Follow national and local regulations.
3.5.2 Short-circuit Protection
Use the Danfoss recommended fuses to protect service personnel or other equipment if there is an internal failure in the unit or
short circuit on DC-link. If there is a short circuit on the motor or brake output, the drive provides full short-circuit protection.
To avoid overheating of the cables in the installation, provide overload protection. Always carry out overcurrent protection according to national regulations. Fuses must be designed for protection in a circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 100000 A
(symmetrical), 480 V maximum.
rms
3.5.4 Non-UL Compliance
If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, use the fuses mentioned in this chapter, which ensure compliance with EN50178/IEC61800-5-1.
If there is a malfunction, not following the fuse recommendation may result in damage to the drive and the installation.
